How about MySQLDumper (from SourceForge)?
Dunno about it.
I myself use eskuel because it allows me to upload my dumps in a temp folder. I remember that bigdump was strong on huge databases, too.

To do: option for groups to notify users on add, and on remove. (2 different options.)

Oh. Then I guess it's an UltimateProfile feature.

Yup. And Wedge supports most html5 custom input types. :)

I turned the qr object into a single object recently but I don't remember if it was yesterday or much much earlier. When did the problem start?
I'm sure it's down to one of my changes. Bad Nao... Always obsessed with saving extra bytes ;) (although as a whole it does make wedge faster than the equivalent competition :P)

Bug reports / Re: Pretty URL remarks

On SMF caching I cache 1 file per page, it would be too much of a waste 1 file per URL. I figured there are only going to be a few pages hit often and allot of pages not so often, so I believe it will even itself out using this method.
I don't know. I'm not sure this is for the best... We're talking about a feature that takes on average a hundredth of a second to execute (it's about half the time of the entire ob_sessrewrite execution time IIRC), perhaps two at the most, and caching this would logically save even less time... Then again, most of the cache calls in Wedge/SMF are done to save a few milliseconds only... But they usually don't have to target a wide range of URLs or anything.

On to the 404 thing, the forum has always been a Pretty URL forum, so Google or any other search engine does not know the old urls.
Then I guess you're good, indeed...

However though, I had bad performance when I started but had to work on allot of aspects to get it up to par. The DB cache system though that it had was the worst feature, the board and topic cache in the db was good but the other url cache was just junk.
Yeah, that's the main issue really... I'm still very much tempted to remove it -- but I'm wary of removing it to replace it with something I like even less.

Sorry I don't know the history of the mod that much.
Neither do I... Basically, I got in touch with Dannii back in late '07, helped out a bit, he offered a dev spot at google code, I never used it because of my lack of knowledge of svn, then my own version started diverging from his, and around '10 (?) he made it BSD and gave vblamer a dev spot and the 'keys' to the SMF mod page. By that time, my own code was already too different anyway...

I hardly even stop by SMF though or keep up with the mods they release there.
When you're running a forum, you don't always think of updating it... I personally rarely do, either.
I think we should write some kind of 'automatic updater' for plugins and Wedge, disabled by default or something, with the ability to install only the 'proven' updates of Wedge (or maybe also cutting edge versions?), something like that... We could simply retrieve the gzip file, extract it somewhere, and copy the tree structure...

Plugins / Re: Plugins I refuse to do

I'll leave it up to you to decide what we do about this.

Re: xenForo, what's new on their side BTW...? Didn't they have a lawsuit with vB or something? Did they win? Lose?

I think my English is starting to erode into oblivion because I don't get what you're trying to say here, either... :-/

I don't know what the bug is, what the fix is, and why you can't apply it.

Archived fixes / Re: Undefined index in wetem::find
« on April 26th, 2012, 05:08 PM »
How could it return an undefined index on $to? $to is never used as an index, AFAIK...?

As for what you're describing -- it's actually addressed in the wetem::find source code.

Code: [Select]
// If we try to insert a sideback block in XML or minimal mode (hide_chrome), it will fail.
// Plugins should provide a 'default' fallback if they consider it vital to show the block, e.g. array('sidebar', 'default').

So there you go... Just add , 'default' right after the name of the layer where you want to add :)

It's nice to see loadLanguage using arrays :)
Indeed!
Is there anything left with a '+' syntax in Wedge...? I don't think so, but...
Quote
Actually it could be better to use an array like that. The thing is, the sprintf does actually inject the value in, so even on _n cases you'd still have to always inject it, no?
I have no idea what you mean, sorry.
Quote
Regarding 5.4's inclusion of array syntax... it's an interesting choice but one that I personally would have put into PHP sooner if given a choice, putting it at a .x release makes that quite hard for a language construct; things like namespaces in 5.3 is a feature not a language construct and it's not so hard to get your head around that as a requirement. But as a language construct, I think it should have been pushed into the next major release, not a minor one, personally.
Given how many years happen between each major release, I think it's safe to say that PHP 5.4 is a major update -- if only because it'll break stuff and server admins will take 10 years to install it, blah blah...

Not sure where to post this, but can I just say I like having the action buttons below the posts? It could do with some more tweaking (the 'more' menu is empty for me now, for instance), but it's a promising move, I think. :)
Thanks :)
As for the More menu, I need to look into that...
Currently I'm fighting against an attempt at rewriting the button icon code. I hate CSS precedence... >_<

Here's wondering whether I should look into the bug as it happens on iOS 4.2, or just the hell with it and expect everyone to upgrade to iOS 5.0...
(I can't upgrade to 5.0, myself, or at least I don't know how to do it. I 'jail-broke' my iPod to be able to run more than 8 tabs at a time in Safari Mobile, but I didn't think of saving my 'locked' version of iOS at the time, and as such I have no idea whether I'll lose all of my data if I have to reset the iPod to update...)

(and some potential per-session caching, but for guests that's mostly avoidable anyway!)
How so?
In the current example (detecting mobile browsers), having it cached per session would allow me to run Mobile_Detect 2.x without an afterthought, and thus some finely tuned variables in return... While having a possibility of it being disabled means I have to rely on my current (and *very* fast) Class-MoDe.php class, which should find 99% of all mobile devices, but not all of them. Which pisses me off :lol:

There isn't at present but I suppose it could be; since you need to be signed in, and they need to be signed in, between them it's fairly trivial to do. It will probably be more useful than seeing what guests are online, actually ;)
Indeed.
Heck, when we implement custom groups, friend lists will suddenly become trendier to use -- if only because you'll be able to specify your own 'custom' colors for them, mesays.
